Application filed March 3, 1915. Serial No. 11,711.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN J. NIOUAW'AD, a subject of the Sultan ofTurkey, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Exhibitore;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention has reference to improvements in exhibitors; and, thepresent in vention relates, generally, to a novel eX- hibitor in theform of a calendauattachment which may be used with clocks comprising acalendar-card presenting and delivering means which is actuated andcontrolled by the goar-mechanism of the clock, and which operates topresent to view at a window in the cloclecasing, the twentyfour hours ofa day, a card upon which is indicated the year, month, date and day, themechanism also operating, at the end of every twenty four hours toremove such displaced card and replace it by another card upon which isindicated the next-sueseeding date and day of the week.

The present invention, therefore, has for its principal object toprovide a novel and simply-constructed, as well as efliciently op-'erating card-delivering and presenting mechanism actuated from suitablegearmechanism, as of any ordinary clock, and for use more especially asa means for indicating in consecutive order the months, dates and daysof a year, the card-presenting mechanism being time-controlled in such amanner by the usual train of gearing, that a card is delivered andpresented to view at the end of every twenty-four hours. It will beevident, however, from the following detailed description of the presentinvention, that with very slight changes, the card-delivering andpresenting mechanism can be controlled and operated,

so that cards may be successively delivered j and presented at thereadingwindow durmg much shorter intervals of time, the cards in thatcase being capable of use for ad- F vertising purposes.

Other objects of this invention not at this time more particularlyenumerated will be clearly understood from the following detaileddescription of the present invention. lVith the various objects of thepresent invention in view, the invention consists, primarily, in a novelexhibitor of the gen eral character hereinafter set forth; and, theinvention consists, furthermore, in the novel arrangements andcombinations of the various devices'and parts, as well as in the detailsof the construction of the said parts, all of which will be more fullydescribed in the following specification and then finally embodied inthe clauses of the claims which are appended to and which form anessential part of the said specification. 7

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich z- Figure 1 is a front face-view of an exhibitor in the form of acalendar-clock made according to and embodying the principles of thepresent invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectionalrepresentation of the upper portion of the clock-casing, showing inconnection therewith and in front elevation, one general arrangement ofthe usual clock-mechanism, and a card-delivering and presenting meansoperated and controlled from the train of gearing of the saidclock-mechanism. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional representation taken online 33 in said Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrow to, saidview illustrating in side elevation the card-delivering and presentingmeans shown in Fig. 2.; and Fig. 4c is a plan or top view of the saidparts. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional representation, taken on line 55in said Fig. 8, looking in the direction of the arrow 3 certain elementsof the card-delivering and presenting means being shown in elevation,the various elements being represented in their normal or startingpositions. Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 of the drawings, said viewrepresenting the relative positions of the elements, at the time ofmoving a card into its preliminary vposition for presentation in frontof the window. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional representation of themechanism, said section being taken on line 77 in said Fig. 5, lookingin the direction of the arrow .2, showing the parts in their normalinitial positions; Fig. 8 is a similar section of the same parts,showing their relative positions just prior to presenting'the deliveredcard directly back of the window; and Fig. 9 is another similar sectionof the same parts, showing the relative positions of the said parts,with the delivered card pressed in a vertical position directly back ofand against the window. Fig. 10 is a bottom view of the card-deliveringand presenting mechanism, with the elements thereof represented in theirnormal initial positions; and Fig. 11 is a similar view of the sameparts, with the elements thereof represented in their operatedpositions.

Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the abovedescribed vlews, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to the several figures of the drawings, thereference-character 1 indicates a suitable clock, comprising a maincasing 2 and a face 3. In this instance, the face is provided with aglass-door, as a, through which the dial 5 of the clock is exposed, thedial forming a usual part of any suitable clock-mechanism, as 6, whichis suitablv secured upon the inner face of the back '7 of the maincasing, substantially as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The top8 of said casing is provided with suitably disposed openings 9 and 10,and in one of its vertical sides, as 11, is an opening 12. In its upperportion, the face 3 is provided with an opening, as 13, oack of which isa piece of glass 1 L or other transparent material, to provide a windowfor the purposesto be presently more fully set forth. In theclock-mechanism or train of gears represented in said Fig. 2 of thedrawings,

the referencecharacter 15 indicates the usual spindle upon which ismounted the usual form of toothed wheel 16 with the peripheral teeth ofwhich the usual strikerarm 17 of the clockanechanism is in engagement inthe usual and well-known manner This toothed wheel 16 is geared with theremaining train of gears in such a manner that during every twenty-fourhours it will make two complete revolutions. Suitably mounted upon thesaid spindle 15 is a small pinion, as 18, which of course during thesame time will make the number of revolutions as the toothed wheel 16.Extending from the inner face of the vertical side 19 of theclock-casing is a bracket, as 20, which carries a toothed wheel or gear21. The

pro ortion of this toothed wheel or gear 21 to the pinion 18, with whichit is in mesh, is two to one, so that while the pinion 18 makes tworevolutions during each twenty-four hours, the said toothed wheel orgear 21 will make. but one complete revolution during the same number ofhours. Extending laterallv from the rim of said'toothed wheel or gear21, and at the proper location, is a suitably formed projection or pin,as 22, the purpose of which will be presently more lever fullyexplained; During each twenty-four hours, that is'during each completerevolution of the said toothed wheel or gear 21, this projection or pin22 is moved actively into sliding engagement with the edge of the lowerarm-portion of a lever 23, which lever is fulcrumed upon a pin 24mounted upon a bracket 25 suitably secured to and extending downwardlyfrom the inner face of the top 8 of the clock-casing 2, substantially asshown in the several figures of the drawings. The upper arm-portion ofthe said lever 23 extends into and through the previously-mentionedopening 9 in the said top 8 to a point above the said top of theclock-casing 2; The rotation of the said toothed wheel or gear 21 andthe sliding engagement of the projection or pin 22 upon the edge of thelower arm-portion of said fulcrumed lever 23, at the proper time, willcause said lever 23 to move from its normal initial position indicatedin Figs. 2 and 5 to the position represented in Fig. 6 of the drawings,at the same time compressing a spring, as 26, suitably secured upon theinner face of the side 19 of the clock-casing 2, as will beclearlyevident from an inspection of said Figs. 2, 5 and 6 of thedrawings. As soon as the said lever 23 has been moved into the positionrepresented in said Fig. 6, the said projection or pin 22 moves clear ofthe edge of the lower arm-portion of the 23, as will be clearly evident,at which time the said spring 26 is free to exert its pressure upon theopposite edge of the lower arm-portion of said lever 23, thus once moreand rapidly causing said lever to assume its normal initial positionindicated in Figs. 2 and 5 of the drawings, in the path of the saidprojection or pin 22 and to be again actuated by the said projection orpin atthe proper time, during the rotation of the said toothed wheel orgear 21. The purpose of this movement of the lever 23 is two-fold andwill presently be more fully set forth.

Suitably secured upon the rear face of the back 7 of the clock-casing 2,by means of screws 27, or other suitable fastening means, is an upwardlyextending and suitably formed support, as 28, carrying a card-receivingreceptacle 29 of the general configuration shown. This receptacle, whichis preferably of rectangular configuration, has a bottom 30'and aremovable top 31 and in its sides, directly above the said bottom, it isprovided with oppositely located openings, as 32 and 33. Stacked withinthis receptacle are cards 3 lof any suitable material, the number ofcards corresponding to the number of days in a year, and each cardbearing upon its face designations, such as the year, month, date, andthe day of a week.

A weight 35 may be arranged upon the top card of thestack, if desired.

Extending laterally from the side36 off the receptacle 29, and directlybeneath the opening 32 in said side36, is a suitably formed platform ,orshelf, as 37, which is provided with an elongated opening or slot 38,into and through which the upper arm portion of the previously mentionedlever 23 projects and isadapted toimove backand forth n said opening orslot, when the lever, 1O

23 is actuated bythe projection or pin 22 and the spring 26 in themannerherein-be.v fore stated. In its upper surface, the said platform orshelf??? is made with aguide 39 in which is arranged a correspondinglyformed ejector-plate or plunger 40. This ejector plate olflplungerisprovided with a.

suitably formed hole or opening 41 through which the upper arm-portionof the said lever 23 also projects, in order to produce a reciprocatorymotion of the said. plate or plunger 4.0 in said guide 39. From aninspection of Figs. 2, 5 and 6, it will be seen, that while the lever231s being actuated by the projection or pin'22, the said ejector plateor plunger 40 enters the opening or ings. Suitably connected with the.saidsupport 28, so as tobe located directly beneath the bottom of thereceptacle .29 isanangularly disposed element, as 42, which extendsbeyond the side of the receptacle29iin which the opening or slot 33 isformed. Thislaterally extending portion of saidqelement 42 is providedwith two vertical wallslike members 43 and 44, placed such distanceapart that a suitable card-receiver is provided to readily receive thecard, which is ejected from the opening or slot, between the saidwall-like members .43 and 44 and upon thatpart of the inclinedsurface-portion of the element located between said wall-like mem-.bers, in" the manner represented, in Fig. 8 of the drawings. From aninspection of Figs.

7 8 and 9 it willbe,seen, that,this card receiver thus provided islocated directly back of the previously-mentioned.window 14 and theopening 13 in the face 3. Also suitably secured to'the under'surface ofsaid inclined element 42, by means of a screw 45, or other suitablefastening means, is a rightangled supporting bracket 46, the arm-portion47 of which is providedswith a pivot,

preferablyzin the form of a screw 48, and nut 49. Pivotally mounted uponsaid screw48,

cates with a suitable box or TQCBlVGl, as 70,

so as to be oscillatorily disposed upon the tentions or fingers, as 50and 51, said fingers providing a suitable yoke, between which the upperarm-portion of the lever 23 pro jects and intermittently engages therespecs tive fingers 50 and 51 so as to intermittently oscillate thesaidlink 49 for the purposes to y bepresently more fully set forthTheother end-portion of the link 49 extends beyond the edge 52 of themain portion. of the bracket 46, said end-portion of the link having, adownwardly extending part 53,;

and a right-angled extension 54, which car ries pivotpin 55. Suitablysecured to the under surface of that part of the inclined element 42,forming the above-mentioned card-receiver, by means of rivets 56 orother suitable fastening means, is a plate 57,,

55 is a plate or bar, as 64, which terminates I in a finger 65, saidfinger 65 extending into, and being movably' disposed in a suitablv,

shaped hole or opening 66 in the inclined base of the card-receiver, asshown in the several figuresof the drawings. The previ ously-mentionedplate or bar 65 is also provided with a downwardly extending fingerl or,post, as 67, in alinement withthe elongated opening or slot 62 in theslide 61', the 7 lower end-portion of said finger or post projectinginto said opening or slot 62, and

being s'lidably disposed. therein, so as to intermittently engage withthe end-bounding portions of the said opening,.or slot 62 and therebyintermittently'move the slide 61 forwardly and backwardly at the propertimes in the bearing-portions v60 of themembers or arms/58 and 59.

Aswill be seen from an inspection of Figs. 7, 8 and 9 ofthedrawings,"the lower marginal edge-portion of the inclined bottom of thecard-receiver lies slightly behind the window 14 so as to provide alaterally ex-' tending card delivery opening or slot 68,

which is located in registration above the receiving opening of a chute69. This chute has its respective end-portions arranged and suitablysecured in the openings 10 and 12 of the top- 8 and side 11,respectively, and the lower end-portion of said chute communia 'itheproper time.

details of the construction of the said parts,

I will now set forth,briefly,f the general op-' erations of the saiddevices and parts.

Supposethe various devices and parts are 5) inthe positions indicated inFigs.'2 and 5 of the. drawings :-The required number of cards arestacked in the card-receiving receptacle 29,-say 365 cards,correspondingto I the number of days in 'a year, or in'case of 107a leap year 366cards, and the clock-work or train of gears is started. During eachsingle rotation of the toothed or gear-wheel 21, the projection or pin22 moves the lever 23 from the position indicated in Figs. 2and 1'5 5 tothe position represented in Fig. 6. This movement of the said lever, inoperating the mechanismsabove stated, ejects the lowest card 34 from thereceptacle 29 upon that portion of the inclined element as located g'between the wall-like members 5L3 and 4 when the card rests for aninstant, in the manner shown in Fig. 8 of the drawings, the finger 65 inthe meantime being withdrawn fromthe position indicated in Fig.- 7 ofthe 25 drawings to the position of the finger in said Fig. 8:Immediately upon the projection or pin 22 leaving the edge of the lever23, the

spring 26 returns the lever to its normal position indicatedin saidFigs. 2 and 5, thus 3d withdrawi1 ig the ejector-plate or plunger fromwithin the receptacle 29, thereby allowing the next lowest card in thestack to drop into position for its ejection from) the receptacle 29into the card-receiver, at

position indicated in'said Fig. 7, and thus acts upon the back of thecard 34, as will 4Joeevident, and raises the said card into a verticalposition directly against the back of the window 14 where it is held insuch position by the saidfinger [and the slide 61 upon which it rests,so that'the reading si inatter upon the card can be readthrough the saidwindow. In this position the cardis held and exposed to view fortwenty-four hours until the. projection or pin 22 again actuates thelever 23, thus causing the finger 56165 and the slide 61 to moveawaysfrom the presented and exposed card, allowing the said card to dropinto thechute 69 from which it passes into therbox or receiver f 70. Theparts 65 and 61 have nowonce more {is-been brought into the positionsindicated in Fig. 8 of the drawings, and the ejectorplat'e or plunger 40having, at the same time, again entered the receptacle 29, the lowest.card is again forced from said receptacle into. the

gnjcard-receiver to rest upon its inclined'bottom, and then to beimmediately forced into its vertical position back oi the window 14;

as shown in said Fig. 9, in the manner here in-above described and forthe purposes 65; stated.- Afterthe cardEA; has been properlySimultaneously with the withdrawalof the said ejector-plate or plrn- Vger, the finger 65 is returned to. its former eXposed in its verticalposition, see Fig. 9,

the slide 61 and the finger 65 in due course of the window bearing thesucceeding date.-

Of course it will be clearly understood, that with slight changes, thelever 23 may be made-to actuate the mechanism at shorter intervalsoftime, for oftener and more rapidly presenting cards back of the window,as for instance, in case the clock is to be used as an advertisingclock, instead of a calendar clock.

I am also aware, that other changesmay' be 'made in the generalarrangements {and combinations of the various devices and parts, as wellas in the details of the construction of the "said parts, withoutdeparting from the scope of the present invention as set forth in the'lt'oregoing specification and as defined in the clauses of the claimswhich are appended tothesaid specification.

Hence, I do not limit my present invention tothe exact arrangements andcombinations of the various devices and parts as described in the saidspecification, nor do I confine myself to the exact details of theconstruc- 1 tion of thesaid parts, as illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings.
